Volume 2: The Phoenix Dominates the World, the Swan Goose is Shocked. Chapter 29: Monopolizing the Turtle's Head
Although Zhen Fei was somewhat annoyed and angry, she could only look at Gu Shi Lan Mingxuan's face, which was as elegant as a banished immortal, and secretly bite her lip. Even if she was proud of the Zhen family's power being overwhelming, and able to cover the sky with one hand, she still couldn't afford to offend Master Gu!
Anyway, Guo Shi could protect Ruan Qindan for a while, but he couldn't protect her forever.
The position of the War King's consort is not an easy one to sit in!
"It's settled then! I'll take care of this document for you all. Let's begin!"
Guo Shi Lan Mingxuan's fingers moved slightly, and the letter in Zhen Fei's hand flew into his palm. The crowd saw this scene, and a deep sense of awe surged up in their hearts.
"Let's get started as the national teacher said!"
Yun Huang said with a serious expression, his eyes clouding over with a hint of gloom.
No one is willing to be inferior to others, let alone a king of a country.
Only ancestral teachings are strict, generations of emperors respect the national teacher as a god, follow him and live, oppose him and perish.
He didn't believe in evil in his heart, the national teacher was just one person, what's the big deal?
Tormented by the lack of power to confront Guoshi, he has secretly gathered various eccentric heroes, wanting to eliminate Guoshi in one fell swoop. Guoshi possesses mysterious and extraordinary powers, but under the vast sky, there are also people who can wield special powers of heaven and earth. Many eccentrics from the hidden world sects, although they have not asked about worldly affairs for a long time, possess extremely powerful strength.
For now, it's not time yet, he can only temporarily endure. When he invites the mysterious person from the hidden world sect, where will he still need to fear the national teacher?
"This time, I, the queen, want to have a contest with Queen Zhan on couplets! Please, everyone, let's move to the Imperial Garden, and use the scenery of the four seasons in the Imperial Garden as the content of the couplets. I wonder if Queen Zhan dares to accept?"
On the face of Zhen Fei, who was elegant and noble, a provocative color floated up. A bright apricot-colored long dress dazzled people's eyes. The coiled buns on her head were adorned with ruby-encrusted exquisite hairpins. With heavy makeup and elaborate attire, she looked as proud as a peacock.
"Since you have this interest, I will naturally accompany you to the end!"
Ruan Qincen swept her sleeve and raised it, on her absolutely beautiful face, a confident light was shining. No matter how strong the wind and frost came, she stood tall and proud, facing the wind alone.
Everyone walked towards the Imperial Flower Garden, and staying in the Dragon Temple was indeed oppressive. After coming out, I suddenly felt my mood clear up. The spring breeze swept over the dense clouds, weaving a warm and slightly intoxicating late afternoon sun. In the Imperial Flower Garden, the artificial hills were layered and undulating, and the clear and melodious bird calls floated from the rolling green bamboo. From a distance, it seemed like pieces of jade shining brightly.
The brook winds around the bridge, colorful butterflies dance and sing. A cluster of flowers, layer upon layer, blooming into a fragrant cloud of mist. The trees and flowers are adorned with delicate leaves, bursting forth with natural beauty.
Everyone stood in a separate place on the grass outside the pavilion, while Guoshi Lan Mingxuan sat alone in the pavilion. Although the sunlight on this spring afternoon was not dazzling, people standing outside still sweated slightly. This pavilion was actually a nice place, with a gentle breeze and comfortable temperature. There were also fresh fruits on the table to taste, which ordinary people would not have such treatment.
He waved his hand at Ruan Qindeng and indicated for her to sit in the pavilion.
"Come on in and take a seat!"
A gentle and charming voice, slowly falling, making people irresistible.
Ruan Qincheng also didn't show any embarrassment, stepping lightly like a lotus flower, under the gaze of everyone's surprise and admiration, walked into the pavilion and sat down on the soft cushion.
"What right does she have to go in?"
Standing outside the pavilion, basking in the sun, Zhen Fei suddenly asked loudly. Even if it were Yun Huang and Tai Hou, they could only stand outside, how could she, a small war king's consort, have the privilege of entering and sitting with Guo Shi?
"Hehe, what for? Just because I like it! Is this reason enough for you, Zhen Fei?"
Guo Shi Lan's eyes, cold and mysterious as the ocean, swept over the crowd, rendering everyone suddenly silent.
War King Yun Qianye heard his words, the fist under his sleeve suddenly tightened. A cold and stern gaze flashed a hint of murderous intent.
"The imperial teacher's likes and dislikes are not to be questioned, so I'll ask the war king's consort to take over my couplet. There are ten upper lines in total; if the war king's consort can take them all down, it means that my skills are inferior to others!"
Her tone was overbearing, her words dripping with malice. The flames of jealousy burned brighter in her heart, and she made up her mind to trample her ruthlessly. Who allowed her to marry the War King Yun Qianye? Who allowed her to be prettier than herself? It was all her own doing!
"The queen's upper verse is: The mist locks the mountain head, the mountain locks the mist!"
Ruan Qincheng held a crystal cup in her hand, shaking off the water droplets on the table. She pursed her lips and said slowly: "The sky is connected to the end of the water, and the water is connected to the sky."
"Great!"
The university student applauded and praised with a clear and solemn expression, his eyes filled with excitement.
"It seems that the War King's Consort really has some skills!"
The officials present also nodded in agreement with Ruan Qinchun's couplet.
"Hmph, but you only answered the simplest riddle, what's there to be proud of! Listen to my second riddle, white snow flies and snowy white."
Zhen Fei saw Ruan Qindeng answering a couplet so easily and couldn't help but feel annoyed, her heart also rising with anxiety.
"The red plum intoxicates people, and the intoxicated plum is red."
Ruan Qincen smiled slightly, her voice like a clear spring, pouring out.
"United as closely as jade and pearl."
"The phoenix lands on the paulownia tree, and the paulownia tree falls with the phoenix!"
“……”
"When the wheel turns, water flows; when the wheel stops, water ceases."
"The fan fans out the wind, and the movement of the fan creates the wind."
"Swallows and swallows, flowers and leaves, you and I, evening and morning."
"Through wind and rain, warmth and cold, searching everywhere."
The gentle breeze was as calm as the sunlight, and the flowing water was as leisurely as the clouds. When Ruan Qin dusted off the cup of clear tea, her jade hand gently placed the cup on the saucer, and her gaze, as light as a cloud in the wind, turned to Ahn Fei's pale face, only then did everyone come back to their senses from the shock!
After a brief silence, there was a sudden burst of warm applause and cheers.
"It's over!"
"It's already clear who's winning and losing!"
"As expected of the Emperor's teacher's daughter!"
"The Yangtze River's rear waves push forward the front waves, the blue one surpasses the blue one!"
“……”
The officials looked at Ruan Qinchun with eyes of admiration, and they could not help but feel inferior to her quick wit. On her, it seemed as if they had seen the emperor's teacher debating with a hundred officials again.
Zhen Fei gritted her teeth, knowing that the situation was irretrievable. Now she could only place her hopes on the other two consorts! She refused to believe that Ruan Qincheng could defeat the incomparable Mei Xueran!
"Sister isn't a match for the War King's consort, you two younger sisters must help the Emperor save some face! Otherwise, if the Emperor loses face, it won't just be us sisters who suffer!"
Zhen Fei's words fell, and Meng Fei's pale face turned a few shades whiter. Originally, in order to save her brother's life, she was forced into the palace. Today, she was threatened again, what should she do?
The next moment, everyone saw Mei Fei and Meng Fei walking out of the group of concubines. Mei Fei was proud, Meng Fei was elegant, and as soon as they appeared, they attracted a lot of discussion from the crowd. Mei Fei was the younger sister of General Mei Minghui, while Meng Fei was recognized as a great talent! One of the four misses of Emperor Di Quan!
I don't know, in the end whose home will the flowers fall on?
Although they didn't think Ruan Qincheng could win against the great talent Meng Xiao Ran, there was still a small expectation in their hearts.
I wonder if she will create some kind of miracle?
This time's competition has really made everyone look forward to it with bated breath!
